Balls up .

[THE_MASK]

Balls up . Heading to drop off a spy near Londonderry . My deck crew spotted a plane and we dived . He dropped a bomb while we were diving and my crew were all injured . Most of my equipment is damaged but repairable fairly easily except the diesel engines which will take 6 hours but we have to be surfaced to fix them . Attacked by 2 more planes while crew are recovering enough to repair damaged equipment except the diesel engines . Managed to shoot the 2 planes down before they could drop bombs . While on the surface i noticed that the 3rd plane didnt attack but flew high over us and then turned away . Now i know why , 2 nearby battleships have been directed towards us and are on the horizon . Depth under keel is 60 mts and the weather is clear . The diesel engines will take another 1.5 hours to fix but we have to be surfaced to fix them so that is suspended for now . More to follow .

Man thats crazy!! Are the repair times part of the stock game? Or did the repair times have to be modded to be longer/ realistic??

[GreyIron]

Yea the modded game is so awesome...I sank a unarmed merchant away from a convoy of armed merchants....using a safe distance and deck gun! I was looking thru my binocs and saw a red star in the sky...so I had to free camera and zoom in and what a surprise...the sinking ship was sending up a distress flare to the convoy....it was so cool!...Another one was when I sent a eel to the bow of a troop Transport.... I was watching the explosions and fire and and notice the smoke billowing out of the portholes....so much amazing details....thanks modders:yeah::arrgh!:

Now THAT's what I call a sphincter-clenching moment, Sober!

Glück auf!

Sober strangely enough I just completed that same mission last night. It took me all day messing about in thin water and nearly got killed from depth charges. I was able to slip away and approach the drop off point at night. It is with out a doubt a night operation since you have to get the sub close to shore to send off the life boat. Good luck and let us know.

Abso-freakin-lutely night time puh-lease. I think Sober just got caught while in route. I hope I don't get caught like that. The game gets a bit real when your crew that you thought you got sick of are now all wounded and you've got no engines.
Get-em Sober. I guess "Be more agressive" doesn't apply here....

I would like to see
- the exact position of his u-boat
- bearings of enemy war-ships
- estimated distances of war-ships
- other infos
so that we can discuss the tactics he still have.

[Harmsway!]

Well since this is to infiltrate a spy under no circumstance do you want to be discovered. Best not to engage in battle anywhere near the drop off. This would put the spy at risk of being identified. This is fore most a stealth mission. Of course the game won't know the difference.

The position i was at was
W8 27 N57 31 .
It turns out that the 2 ships were transports . I sunk both but am unable to fix the diesels . Career over .

+First i would try to hold a radio connection to the base station.

XX. MONTH YEAR. XXhXX. FROM:U999 TO BdU
POSITION N57 31 W08 27.
IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO CONTINUE THE MISSION.
ATTEMPT TO REPAIR DIESELENGINES FAILED.
BATTERYSTATUS: LOW.
RADIO-COMMUNICATION AT 02:30 AM UTC EVERY DAY.
AWAITING FURTHER ORDERS.
SOBER.

+Try to lay down the u-boat on the seabed.
The location seems to be right but this would be the most dangerous part.
Distance to island Uist 34nm, to island Saint Kilda 17nm.

+Try to disconnect all electrical equipment while waiting for the next Radio-communication time.

The question is: Is it realistic to assume that there will be a Search And Rescue operation for the u-boat and u-boat crew by the Kriegsmarine?

Do you play dead is dead? I do. I don't fall back on a previous save except for the injustice of TC fatality.
